When I was a child, my parents made sure that I learned the piano. Not only did they want me to learn it so that I could play it in church, but they figured that it would be a great way to develop creativity.
They were right. Not only do I have an appreciation of music, but my mind is very creative as well. As an adult and a parent, I want my children to have the same opportunity to learn and master piano as I did as a child.
So, we have been trying to find a piano teacher in town that has the experience we are looking for. It turns out that our neighbor is a master pianist, and I think that we will be sending the kids over there for lessons. I just hope that they enjoy playing the piano as much as I did - it is a very big part of my life.
